The NBA Finals will be great, but the real show would be the January Hornets vs the 1 game under .500 Hawks

He’s so fucking good at basketball, need someone to look up those “dyson daniels overpay???” threads from a few weeks ago.

Mrtheliger | Hawks

People really don’t understand just how amazing he is. Jalen will be the “face” of this team the next 5+ years, but Dyson will be right there as the 1B to his 1A.

Yes it’s funny.

With how our roster is constructed, Dyson’s poor three point shooting harms much us far less than Jalen’s poor defense lol. We have 4 three point specialists, and nearly all of our bigs can shoot the 3 (Jalen, Onyeka, Asa, Risacher, Porzingis). There’s no spacing issues, but there’s a huge defense issue lol

ExleyPearce | LAL

He’s had consistently good games like this throughout the season, it’s a shame his shooting woes have overshadowed them.

_Juntao | Celtics

There’s still a lot of season left and the east is very close standings wise. 3rd for now, we’ll see where they are in a month or two

peachtreehoopsfan

They’re not a bad team? They’re just a bit uneven?

They have an strong backcourt with Jaylen Brown (max level), Derrick White, Anfarnee Simons and Payton Pritchard. Probably one of the best back courts in the league.

At the wing position, they’re thin but White and JB are versatile enough defensively to play there, and they have bunch of okay-ish young guys for energy. At the Center position, Queta and Garza are mostly holding it down.

justFramy | Thunder

good win, don’t let the spurs get another

LouieM13 | NYK

It wasn’t the Celtics night. They couldn’t make a stop and Mazzula was making some questionable substitutions

ExleyPearce | LAL

5 | 3 hours ago

Is it fair to say that shooting aside, Dyson has actually improved this season? Like I know that three point shot is terrible but that defense is still great (less steals but idk the prowess is still there) and he’s advanced so much as a playmaker.

Tigerskippy | Hawks

2 | 2 hours ago

I think so, pretty safely. Yeah the shooting is awful but hes the point guard now and its clearly the best role for him, especially when hes (not) shooting like this. Hes been punishing teams for putting their center on him nightly for the last 3 or 4 weeks. He gets two feet in the paint at will and the Hawks shooters are making teams pay for it.

Gg hawks. Good luck the rest of the season

As for the celtics zubac is not fixing this team. There’s no trade out there that would fix this team. Better to just be sellers at the deadline and try again next year with a (hopefully) healthy tatum.

We shot bad in 1 game you dont need to doomer.

deets23_ | Celtics

All the new and young guys were for a while but they’ve cooled down a bit and today was rough

_Juntao | Celtics

2 | 4 hours ago

Hot start to the season, new players playing to keep a job, playing hard to stay in the rotation, etc. There’s only so far effort, cohesion, and playing with a chip on your shoulder will get you in the nba.

And I worded it a bit harsh, the celtics don’t need to be “fixed,” they’re… a fine team. But nowhere near title contenders and tbh more likely to lose in the first round than they are to go to the finals.

amidon1130 | Hawks

1 | 4 hours ago

It’s been a fun season for you guys but I’d be really scared of rushing tatum back when you could just chill and let the new guys develop so next year you can contend again

DJRyGuy20 | Celtics

1 | 4 hours ago

Some of these recent games we’ve looked how I expected us to look throughout this whole season. But then these bozos had to go and get my hopes up by playing far above expectations and into 2nd place in the east lol

_Juntao | Celtics

1 | 3 hours ago

Yeah true lol. Also because the east had looked pretty even. But now the cavs look like they should, the knicks won the nba cup and are on a winning streak, the pistons have the best defense in the league and are 7 games better than the second place team.. it’s been a fun, expectation defying season but this team just isn’t enough to make a run at the finals
